THE MOUSETRAP Names Stephen Crocker as Global Executive Producer
Brian Fenty's appointment signals a major push toward THE MOUSETRAP's 75th anniversary and debut North American production.
Producer and Owner Brian Fenty has announced the appointment of leading theatre and marketing executive Stephen Crocker as Global Executive Producer for Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap, as the legendary production prepares to celebrate its 75th anniversary.
The appointment marks a major strategic expansion for the iconic production as it continues to build on renewed international momentum under Fenty's stewardship. Crocker will work alongside Fenty and the producing team to oversee the brand's global growth strategy, partnerships, audience development, and international commercial opportunities across live entertainment, touring, licensing, and future experiential ventures.
Brian Fenty, who led the consortium that acquired The Mousetrap in 2024, said, “Stephen is one of the most respected and forward-thinking executives in the theatre industry. He brings an extraordinary combination of creative instinct, commercial intelligence, and global audience expertise. As we look toward the next chapter for The Mousetrap in its 75th year and beyond, I can think of nobody better to help lead its international evolution while protecting the legacy that has made it such a cultural institution.”
Stephen Crocker has spent more than 25 years shaping campaigns and audience strategy for some of the entertainment industry's most successful brands, including The Lion King and ABBA Voyage. He previously worked alongside Fenty in key leadership roles at Fenty's TodayTix Group, now owned by Ariel Emanuel's MARI Group.
Crocker said, “The Mousetrap is not simply an iconic play — it is one of the great global entertainment brands. To join Brian and the team at this pivotal moment is an extraordinary privilege. There remains an enormous opportunity to introduce new audiences around the world to Agatha Christie's masterpiece, preserving the unique theatrical experience that has captivated audiences for more than seven decades and elevating the hospitality and mystery of the brand.”
Since premiering in London in 1952, The Mousetrap has become the longest-running play in theatrical history, with more than 30,000 performances and audiences from across the globe continuing to attend the production at St Martin's Theatre in the West End.
Under Fenty's leadership, the production has entered a new era of artistic and commercial development, including creative refreshes, new casting initiatives, and expanded international ambitions.
Further announcements regarding global partnerships and future productions will be made in due course.
